[title] Identifying LCD TV's with CCFL
-[* black] CCFL's contain mercury and should therefore be handled and treated with particular caution. A single lamp contains 1 to 5 mg Hg, meaning a 36" LCD display can contain up to 80mg of Hg.
-[* black] If a plat panel TV is not a plasma TV (see previous step), look for the Mercury Inside or Mercury Free logo. These were introduced in 2014 by Digital Europe and Wrap to aid in segregating TV's containing Mercury.
